(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Two Bahraini protesters had sustained head injuries in an attack by Saudi-backed security forces on an anti-regime demonstration in the kingdom.The incident occurred on Saturday when Hussein Kazem Abdullah, 16-year old and Hussain Ahmad al-Hilal, 36-year old came under direct fire from regime forces in the village Sitra.The Bahraini youths were taken to a health center for treatment, as police surrounded the area.Protesters in the island nation have been staging rallies in solidarity with political prisoners and against the upcoming Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix.The Bahraini revolution began in mid-February 2011, when the people, inspired by the popular revolutions that toppled the dictators of Tunisia and Egypt, started holding massive demonstrations.The Bahraini government promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the peaceful protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring Persian Gulf states.More than 110 people have been killed in the crackdown, and the security forces have arrested hundreds, including doctors and nurses accused of treating injured revolutionaries.The protesters say they will continue holding anti-regime demonstrations until their demand for the establishment of a democratically elected government is met.
